Play Seniors Cricket This Summer
Berkshire Seniors are on the lookout for new players for 2025. We run over 50s sides playing Wednesdays , three over 60s sides playing Tuesdays, and an over 70s side on Thursdays.
We play competitive cricket in the national county system. So, why not spend one afternoon a week this Summer enjoying cricket the way it should be played, and whilst the rest of the world is working!
We are especially keen to boost our over 60s squads for the new season. Our players are drawn from a wide range of clubs, both big and small from across Berkshire, and with three teams we would welcome new players of all standards. Please forward this article to any of your club members you think may be interested.
Pictured here is our +60s 2nd XI stepping out for a chilly pre-season game last April at Welford Park CC and our Berkshire +60s squad the year before, after winning the hugely enjoyable Malta Seniors Tournament (with the traditional county flag of Berkshire flying proud).
It may not be obvious, but this organised regular midweek team sport can provide a hugely enjoyable new playing environment as part of the transition from a full time working lifestyle.
Please contact Bill Green for a chat 07976 341578 and maybe come along to our over 60s indoor nets at the Piggott School Twyford 10am -11.30am each Sunday morning throughout April to say hello and join in.
Mortimer West End Cricket Club (MWECC) and Mortimer Cricket Club (MCC) have merged for the start of the 2025 season to form Mortimer & West End Cricket Club (M&WECC).
The two clubs “Believe that this decision is in the best interest of a sustainable future for cricket in the villages and we hope we gain the support of the community to this end. The merger will see both heritage clubs’ home grounds being used, and we will have the distinction of being one club with two home grounds, The Fairground in Mortimer and The Recreation Ground in West End, in separate counties.
The merger is intended to create a strong, sustainable and competitive cricket club. We will compete with three Saturday league teams, in the Thames Valley League (TVL), The 1st XI in Division 5, 2nd XI in Division 8 and 3rd XI, which will be a development team, in Division 9. Our Sunday friendly side will continue with a full fixture list. We will provide members the opportunity to play cricket at a suitable level to match their needs and aim to provide a clear pathway for junior members to progress into adult cricket.”
If you are 55 or over, male or female, and are interested in walking cricket, we get together on Wednesdays from 11 – 1 at Purley on Thames CC, Goosecroft, Beech Road, RG8 8BW – For more details CLICK HERE
